---------------------------------------------------------

My fellow Americans and select Canadians,

My name is Dwight K. Schrute. Recently, it was brought to my attention that a Presidential candidate has selected me as his Vice President ? or as I prefer, Assistant President. I was not surprised by this information, because I am the only suitable choice. As this country?s second in command, I will be cunning; wily; exceedingly loyal to my superiors; and will not hesitate to use heavy artillery. However, unlike my predecessor, I will not fire it off in a friend?s face.

As for Mr. Jonathan McCain: I will accept your offer, old man. But before I do, certain terms must be agreed upon.

? I may borrow Air Force One whenever I want. I am not required to refill the tank. When piloting Air Force One, I am only to be addressed as ?Iceman.?

? Effective immediately, Jack Bauer is promoted to Secretary of Defense.

? I demand full government financing of research programs into the beet as an alternative energy source. Beet juice is cheaper than gasoline, better-tasting and only slightly flammable.

? My bunker must contain a foosball table and be zombie-proof.

? Secret Service members are to be armed with guns, nunchucks, throwing stars and flamethrowers.

? I would like a flamethrower.

? From now on, the National Anthem will be replaced with Van Halen?s ?Panama.?

? My current employer, Michael Scott, has asked for an advisory position, a la Karl Rove. I am not adverse to this; however, it is not a deal-breaker. The rest of my coworkers are to be placed in an internment camp. And the entire city of Scranton should be surrounded by a wall and converted into a futuristic prison.

? I want to see an eagle fight a falcon. Whoever survives is our nation?s mascot.

? No more tours of the White House. I distrust schoolchildren.

? All pictures of Abraham Lincoln are to be removed. He is creepy.

? J.K. Rowling should be required by law to write a new Harry Potter book. If she refuses, I advise torture.

? All of the above items are negotiable. Except for the flamethrower. Basically, if you get me a flamethrower, I?m on board.

In conclusion, I consider it an honor and a privilege to serve the American people. I will display complete loyalty to my President. I will take a bullet for him and even provide a quality foot massage. But if, say, Barack Obama values that loyalty more highly ? I?m going wherever they value loyalty the most. Make me an offer. And America ? at 3 a.m., when the phone rings in the White House ? I won?t even hear it. I?m an extremely sound sleeper.

Vote Schrute!

Dwight K. Schrute
Assistant President in Pending

Cc: Michael Scott, John McCain

If that is an example of how "funny" that show is I am glad I never wasted time watching it.

Re: Potential United States VP?

It was first a show on BBC with different actors (all British). They're different, but have a good bit in common.

The premise is these folks work in an office together and it's filmed as if it's a reality show though you will forget about that aspect after you watch a few episodes. You have to learn the character's personalities before the humor strikes you. What sets the show apart IMO is that it has a lot of awkward situations that make the viewer uncomfortable. Sometimes I just sit in my chair and squirm. It makes me want to leave the room but yet I am drawn to it. I think the show is brilliant. Not Seinfeld brilliant, but it's up there. You really need to take the time to know the characters before you get it (just like Seinfeld). After that you'll either love it or hate it.

The VP thing was not funny to me and while it does display a small facet of the shows humor one cannot make a fair judgment of the show based on that alone. Not even close.

That's my $.02

Why do people that have never watched it, and/or don't understand what it is about, declare that they don't like it? Talk about close minded.
